00:00You have the current song that you were warming up with, Closer to the Sky, so I assume you're going to play that for us.
00:07Is there anything you can tell us a little bit about the song before we get into it, or anything you want to tell us about the song?
00:13Not really, to be honest. It's written in England.
00:17It takes place in England, or you wrote it in England?
00:20It kind of takes place in England. It's about somebody with really big pupils.
00:24Really? Okay.
00:25The old story of the Brit with huge pupils.
00:29You've heard it billions of times.
00:31Man or woman with big pupils?
00:34I don't know. I don't know, man.
00:36It's probably more politically correct to just remain gender fluid.
00:40I guess so.
00:43I'm not sure.
00:45Do you sometimes write a song and not really even know what it's all about?
00:50Because sometimes we, as fans of bands, read deeply into some songs, and then you kind of find out that it was just a thing we did.
00:58Do you know? I mean, even the Beatles have loads of songs that were just, oh, we just kind of made it, and everybody takes these really deep meanings from it, you know?
01:04Sometimes you just catch a wave, and it kind of writes itself.
01:07Well, let's get the song about the big pupils, if you don't mind.
01:10All right.
01:10All right, so if you're just tuning in, Glorious Sons, and they're playing at Union Transfer tonight.
01:14This is Closer to the Sky on MMR.
01:21Eyes wide open, people's locked arms, mama's little boys on the ride of his life, and it's all right.
01:31Mind over body, body over mind.
01:33Really doesn't matter if you can't tell the stars and the streetlights.
01:37Lying on your back by the sewer grate, kisses on your face from the neon rain, and there's no pain.
01:49Clench your jaw, tingle your spine, to the moon jacket.
01:53We got time, it's all right.
01:56It's all right.
01:57Come a little closer to the sky
01:59It's better than wondering why
02:02It's better than breaking
02:04We're on your side
02:07Everything you hear is a lie
02:09And everyone's running out of time
02:12It's better than waiting
02:13We're on your side
02:16Come a little closer to the sky
02:19Leave downtown before you get slaughtered
02:23Bonefire shining on the black water
02:25It's all right
02:26It's all right
02:28Sand on your feet
02:31Wind in your head
02:32You're a silhouette in the summer air
02:34It's all right
02:35It's all right
02:37At the edge of the lake
02:40At the edge of the night
02:41She's looking at you
02:42With dangerous eyes
02:43And a half smile
02:44Give her a kiss
02:49And she bites your lip
02:50You say I love you
02:51She says you're full of shit
02:52She's so right
02:54Come a little closer to the sky
02:58It's better than wondering why
03:00It's better than breaking
03:02We're on your side
03:05Everything you hear is a lie
03:08And everyone's running out of time
03:10It's better than waiting
03:12We're on your side
03:15Come a little closer to the sky
03:17Come a little closer
03:22Down here everyone with a plan
03:28Is on something
03:29And everyone falling in love
03:33Is lonely
03:34It's all right
03:36Come a little closer to the sky
03:38It's better than wondering why
03:40It's better than wondering why
03:41It's better than breaking
03:43We're on your side
03:45Everything you hear is a lie
03:47Me and everyone's running out of time
03:50It's better than waiting
03:52It's better than waiting
03:53We're on your side
03:55Come a little closer to the sky
03:58Come a little closer
04:02Come a little closer
04:06Come a little closer
04:10Come a little closer
04:11Come a little closer
04:13Come a little closer
